Luke 19

1And he enteredG1525 and was passingG1330 through JerichoG2410. 2And beholdG2400, a manG435 calledG2564 by nameG3686 Zacchæus; and he wasG1510 a chief publican, and he wasG1510 richG4145. 3And he soughtG2212 to seeG3708 JesusG2424 who he wasG1510; and could not for the crowdG3793, because he wasG1510 littleG3398 of statureG2244. 4And he ran on beforeG1715, and climbedG305 up into a sycomore tree to seeG3708 him: for he was to passG1330 that way. 5And whenG5613 JesusG2424 cameG2064 to the placeG5117, he lookedG308 up, and saidG3004 unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and comeG2064 down; for to-day I must abideG3306 at thy houseG3624. 6And he made haste, and cameG2597 downG2597, and received him joyfully. 7And when they sawG3708 it, they all murmured, sayingG3004, He is goneG1525 in to lodge with a manG435 that is a sinnerG268. 8And Zacchæus stoodG2476, and saidG3004 unto the LordG2962, BeholdG2400, LordG2962, the halfG2255 of my goods I giveG1325 to the poorG4434; and if I have wrongfully exacted aught of any man, I restore fourfold. 9And JesusG2424 saidG3004 unto him, To-day isG1510 salvationG4991 comeG1096 to this houseG3624, forasmuch as he alsoG2532 isG1510 a sonG5207 of AbrahamG11. 10For the SonG5207 of manG444 cameG2064 to seekG2212 and to saveG4982 that which was lostG622.

11And as they heardG191 these thingsG3778, he addedG4369 and spake a parableG3850, because he wasG1510 nigh to JerusalemG2419, and because they supposed that the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 wasG1510 immediatelyG3916 to appear. 12He saidG3004 thereforeG3767, A certainG5100 nobleman wentG4198 into a far countryG5561, to receiveG2983 for himself a kingdomG932, and to returnG5290. 13And he calledG2564 tenG1176 servantsG1401 of his, and gaveG1325 them tenG1176 pounds, and saidG3004 unto them, Trade ye herewith till I comeG2064. 14But his citizensG4177 hatedG3404 him, and sentG649 an ambassage after him, sayingG3004, We will not that this manG3778 reignG936 over us. 15And it cameG1096 to passG1096, when he was comeG1096 back again, having receivedG2983 the kingdomG932, that he commanded these servantsG1401, unto whom he had givenG1325 the moneyG694, to be called to him, that he might knowG1097 what they had gained by trading. 16And the firstG4413 cameG3854 before him, sayingG3004, LordG2962, thy pound hath made tenG1176 pounds more. 17And he saidG3004 unto him, Well done, thou goodG18 servantG1401: because thou wast found faithfulG4103 in a very littleG1646, have thou authorityG1849 over tenG1176 citiesG4172. 18And the secondG1208 cameG2064, sayingG3004, Thy pound, LordG2962, hath madeG4160 fiveG4002 pounds. 19And he saidG3004 unto him alsoG2532, Be thou alsoG2532 over fiveG4002 citiesG4172. 20And another cameG2064, sayingG3004, LordG2962, beholdG2400, here is thy pound, which I kept laid up in a napkin: 21for I fearedG5399 thee, because thou art an austere manG444: thou takest up that which thou layedst not downG5087, and reapest that which thou didst not sowG4687. 22He saith unto him, Out of thine own mouthG4750 will I judgeG2919 thee, thou wickedG4190 servantG1401. Thou knewest that I amG1510 an austere manG444, takingG142 up that which I laidG5087 not downG5087, and reapingG2325 that which I did not sowG4687; 23then wherefore gavest thou not my moneyG694 into the bank, and I at my comingG2064 should have required it with interestG5110? 24And he saidG3004 unto them that stoodG3936 by, TakeG142 awayG142 from him the pound, and giveG1325 it unto him that hath the tenG1176 pounds. 25And they saidG3004 unto him, LordG2962, he hath tenG1176 pounds. 26I sayG3004 unto you, that unto every oneG3739 that hath shall be givenG1325; but from him that hath not, evenG2532 that which he hath shall be takenG142 awayG142 from him. 27But these mineG1473 enemiesG2190, that would not that I should reignG936 over them, bringG71 hither, and slay them before me.

28And when he had thus spoken, he wentG4198 on beforeG1715, goingG4198 up to JerusalemG2414.

29And it cameG1096 to passG1096, whenG5613 he drew nigh unto BethphageG967 and BethanyG963, at the mountG3735 that is calledG2564 Olivet, he sentG649 twoG1417 of the disciplesG3101, 30sayingG3004, GoG5217 your way into the villageG2968 over against you; in which as ye enterG1531 ye shall findG2147 a coltG4454 tied, whereon no manG444 everG4455 yet satG2523: looseG3089 him, and bringG71 him. 31And if any oneG5100 askG2065 you, WhyG5101 do ye looseG3089 him? thusG3779 shall ye sayG3004, The LordG2962 hath needG5532 of him. 32And they that were sentG649 wentG565 awayG565, and foundG2147 even as he had saidG3004 unto them. 33And as they were loosing the coltG4454, the owners thereof saidG3004 unto them, WhyG5101 looseG3089 ye the coltG4454? 34And they saidG3004, The LordG2962 hath needG5532 of him. 35And they broughtG71 him to JesusG2424: and they threw their garmentsG2440 upon the coltG4454, and set JesusG2424 thereon. 36And as he wentG4198, they spread their garmentsG2440 in the wayG3598. 37And as he was nowG1161 drawingG1448 nigh, even at the descent of the mountG3735 of Olives, the whole multitudeG4128 of the disciplesG3101 beganG757 to rejoiceG5463 and praiseG134 GodG2316 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456 for all the mightyG1411 works which they had seenG3708; 38sayingG3004, BlessedG2127 is the KingG935 that cometh in the nameG3686 of the LordG2962: peaceG1515 in heavenG3772, and gloryG1391 in the highestG5310. 39And some of the PhariseesG5330 from the multitudeG3793 saidG3004 unto him, TeacherG1320, rebukeG2008 thy disciplesG3101. 40And he answeredG611 and saidG3004, I tellG3004 you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stonesG3037 will cryG2896 out.

41And whenG5613 he drew nigh, he sawG3708 the cityG4172 and weptG2799 over it, 42sayingG3004, If thou hadst knownG1097 in this dayG2250, evenG2532 thou, the thingsG3778 which belong unto peaceG1515! but nowG1161 they are hidG2928 from thine eyesG3788. 43For the daysG2250 shall comeG2240 upon thee, when thine enemiesG2190 shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every sideG3840, 44and shall dash thee to the ground, and thy childrenG5043 within thee; and they shall not leaveG863 in thee oneG3739 stoneG3037 upon another; because thou knewest not the timeG2540 of thy visitationG1984.

45And he enteredG1525 into the templeG2411, and beganG757 to castG1544 out them that soldG4453, 46sayingG3004 unto them, It isG1510 writtenG1125, And my houseG3624 shall beG1510 a houseG3624 of prayerG4335: but ye have madeG4160 it a denG4693 of robbersG3027.

47And he wasG1510 teachingG1321 daily in the temple. But the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the scribesG1122 and the principal men of the peopleG2992 soughtG2212 to destroyG622 him: 48and they could not findG2147 what they might do; for the peopleG2992 all hung upon him, listeningG191.
